A baby will grab at a potted plant
because it looks interesting and new.
If it topples over and spills out
they start playing with the soil,
eating it,
feeling it,
pulling the remaining plant apart
and sitting proudly
in the centre of their efforts.
What has been ‘created’
might seem to be a complete mess,
but it’s also an innocent
and informative
investigation.
—Philippa Stanton, in Conscious Creativity
I pulled another plant off the shelf today.
